The Jewel ‎#58

58. Our Cheerful Sabbath Home

1 How sweet the chiming Sabbath bells!
We love the welcome sound;
And haste, with glad and willing heart,
Where purest joys are found.

Chorus:
Our home, our home, cheerful Sabbath home!
We gladly seek its dear retreat,
Our cheerful Sabbath home.

2 From Christian friends and teachers there,
We learn the heav'nly way,
That leads to Him who kindly gave
This holy happy day. [Chorus]

3 We sing our Saviour's wond'rous love,
And all his tender care;
We sing of joy beyond the sky
In mansions bright and fair. [Chorus]

4 The angels, robed in purest white,
Surround the throne above;
And there our happy souls may join,
To sing redeeming love. [Chorus]
